From your location in Ikoyi, find a 'Danfo' (yellow commercial bus) heading to 'CMS' or 'TBS'.
At CMS/TBS, look for a 'Danfo' going to 'Iyana Oworo'.
From Iyana Oworo, board a 'Danfo' heading to 'Ikorodu Garage' or simply 'Ikorodu'. Confirm with the conductor that they are going all the way to 'Ikorodu Garage'.
At Ikorodu Garage, find a 'Keke Napep' (tricycle) or a 'Danfo' going to 'Ipakodo Ferry Terminal'.
Always confirm the destination with the conductor before boarding to avoid going the wrong way.
Have exact change ready if possible to avoid arguments with conductors.
Keep your phone and valuables secure, especially in crowded buses and bus stops.
Yes, ride-hailing apps are available in Lagos. However, this guide focuses on public transport. Using ride-hailing will be significantly more expensive (potentially ₦8,000 - ₦15,000 or more, depending on traffic and surge pricing) but offers direct, door-to-door convenience.
You need a BRT card to use the BRT buses. You can purchase one at any major BRT terminal (like TBS, Ketu, Mile 12, Ikorodu) and load it with money. Cash payment is not accepted directly on BRT buses.
Look for the destination written on the front or side of the bus. If unsure, ask the conductor (the person calling out destinations) or other passengers before boarding. Always confirm the fare before getting on.

Best Time to Travel
Early morning (before 6:30 AM) or late morning (after 10:00 AM) to avoid the worst of the rush hour traffic. Mid-afternoon (before 3:00 PM) is also usually better. Avoid peak evening hours (4:00 PM - 8:00 PM) as traffic can add hours to your journey.
Safety Rating
Medium. While generally safe during the day, exercise caution. Avoid traveling very late at night if possible. Always keep your belongings secure, especially in crowded bus stops and inside buses. Be wary of 'one-chance' vehicles, which are unmarked commercial vehicles used by criminals. Stick to known bus parks and clearly marked public transport.
BRT / Rail / Water
BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) is available for a significant portion of this route, offering a more structured and often faster option from TBS to Ikorodu. There is no direct rail service for this specific journey within Lagos.
